 Shakespeare

William Shakespeare was born in 1564, in the

town of Stratford-upon Avon, England. His
father, John, was a glove maker; and his
mother, Mary, was a farmer's daughter. It is
assumed that William probably studied Latin,
Greek and history, and that he dropped out of
school when he was 16 years old.
Very young, probably before he was 20, he
married Anne Hathaway. They had three
children: Susana and the twins Hamnet and
Judith. Sometime before 1590 he left Stratford
for London, where he got a job as an actor,
later beginning his love of writing.
In 1593, the plague, a terrible disease, killed
thousands of people and the theaters were
closed. During this time, William began to write
short poems called sonnets. Shakespeare also
helped build a new theater called The Globe,
which opened in 1599 and seated 3,000 people.
Finally, Shakespeare became rich and famous.
He died at the age of 52, on April 23, 1616.

Cymbeline
Cymbeline is one of the great works of the final period of
William Shakespeare. At the time, the work was already one
of the favorites of great writers such as Bernard Shaw (who
even rewrote the work in his delicious Cymbeline
Refinished ). his other two works of supreme maturity: The
Tempest and the Winter's Tale. The three together make up
the bulk of the so-called Shakespearean romances, novel
works in which he experiments with new devices and
dramatic forms. In Cymbeline we observe the taste for
sophistication and imaginative displays taken to the
extreme: theatrical artifice in its most joyful form. Set in a
vaguely unrealistic pre-Romanized Britain, fairy tale
conventions, intrigues for power and the eternal theme of
jealousy and loving fidelity are interwoven with brilliant
virtuosity until reaching the true grand finale of the last
scene: in just four hundred verses follow one another in it
more than twenty revelations of identity and scenes of
recognition. But before that, the characters (and the
viewer/reader with them) will have witnessed prodigious
divine apparitions, ghost visits, poisonings, and battles.
Presiding over all the adventures is the beautiful figure of
Imogene, princess of Britain, who stands out in her own
right in the superb gallery of female characters imagined by
Shakespeare and who for Wordsworth was, neither more
nor less, "the woman above all the women of Shakespeare».
Translated into Spanish for the first time in its entirety and
in verse, whoever reads it will enjoy it and have as much
fun with it as we guess Shakespeare himself did with it
when writing it.
 The tempest

a storm shipwrecks Antonio, Alonso, the King of Naples, and his

son Fernando on an island when they return from a wedding. The
storm was caused by Prospero, an old sorcerer who was exiled to
the island with his daughter, Miranda, from Milan many years
ago when his brothers betrayed him. He is determined to take
revenge on his brothers for his betrayal. Ferdinand is separated
from his father and believes that he is dead, but he meets
Miranda and Prospero while he is wandering the island. He
immediately falls for Miranda, who is part of Prospero's plan. At
first he pretends to oppose the union. Prospero's supernatural
assistant Ariel begins playing tricks on the king and his men as
they wander the island.

Prospero organizes a ghost banquet to suddenly appear and

disappear in front of Alonso, Antonio and his men. Ariel appears
as a harpy and declares that Alonso, Antonio, and Sebastian have
been brought to the island to be punished for what they did to
Prospero. The men are completely scared, and Prospero
imprisons them.

Prospero finally gives his consent for Miranda and Fernando to

get married. He then feels bad for imprisoning the men, so he tells
Ariel to bring them so he can cast the final spell on him. He
reveals his identity. Alonso apologizes, and is relieved to discover
that Ferdinand is alive after all, and engaged to Miranda.
Prospero proposes that they all return to Milan for the wedding,
where he too will retire. The ship is magically repaired, and
Prospero calls on the audience to free him with their applause
from him.

 Conclusion
Cymbeline is a Roman historical drama that shares the same
characteristics as Titus Andronicus, Julius Caesar, Antony and
Cleopatra, and Coriolanus. Like its generic predecessors,
Cymbeline explores the social world and the individual in
relation to that order, emphasizing the essential need for
organic harmony. As in his previous Roman dramas,
Shakespeare makes this exploration not by virtue but by default
of the values that contribute to social unity. The difference is
that the social universe of Titus Andronicus, Julius Caesar,
Antony and Cleopatra and Coriolanus is Rome, while Cymbeline
takes place in Romanized Britain and Rome appears as the
Other. The point of view of mimesis and diegesis are reversed,
since it is the Britons who measure themselves in relation to
Rome and themselves. The strong farcical and ironic tonality of
Cymbeline makes it possible to parody the elements of the genre,
especially the fate of the hero, who despite having been molded
by the Roman ethos anglicizes it in the process of his self-
conquest.

The Tempest itself occurs thanks to Prospero's magical acts.

Throughout the story we can see an important presence of these
acts, most of which are directly related to the planned revenge.
We feel, in fact, the need to clarify that from our point of view,
the magic that the book wants us to interpret as "good" is used
for evil acts. Whether they are justified or not, they still serve an
evil purpose. Once this appreciation is made, the relationship
between magic and revenge is even more evident. Finally, it
doesn't matter if the magic is good or bad, the important thing is
that it is used for only one reason, which is the one that
originally gives life to this story, revenge.
